Exponential Knowledge Explosion

“But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, (of the prophecy) even to the time of the end: many shall run to and from (travel), and KNOWLEDGE SHALL BE INCREASED.” Daniel 12:4

Daniel, in 12:8-10 writes, “As for me, I heard but could not understand; so I said, ‘My lord, what will be the outcome of these events?’ The angel replied, “Go your way Daniel, for these words are concealed and sealed up until the end time. Many will be purged, purified and refined, but the wicked will act wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand, but THOSE WHO HAVE INSIGHT WILL UNDERSTAND.”

How do you suppose a 1st Century man (John, the disciple of Jesus) would describe a vision he saw taking place in the 21st Century? He did it just like this:

“I watched as He (Jesus) opened the 6th seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, and the stars in the sky fell to the earth, as late figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. The sky receded like a scroll, rolling up, and every mountain and island were removed from its place.” Revelation 6:12-14

There is no reason for me to push any idea into your mind about what these above scriptures could possibly mean. You and I live in a century where the prophecy of Daniel has been opened and we understand CLEARLY what this describes, even if he could not. By the way, in my research, I found out that the “over pressure” of a nuclear blast actually rolls the atmosphere back over on itself.

Zechariah, the prophet, wrote this concerning the last days, “And this shall be the plague with which The Lord will strike all the people that wage war against Jerusalem; their flesh will rot while they are still standing on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths.” Zechariah 14:12

Here again, I can’t imagine there being any doubt in your mind as to what Zechariah was describing. He was obviously using language of his time to describe this vision. He is clearly speaking about

Great post, Kimberly. What a knowledge explosion we are in! Having grown up in a pre-computer era, I continue to be amazed at the amount of information available to us; we can find pretty much anything we want in a matter of seconds. One thing I thought about as I was reading your post was that the message of Christ is also much more easily accessible today, as the Internet provides a vehicle to tweet, post, and blog the Good News! What an era of unprecedented opportunity! Thanks for sharing your insights.
